LA Times Home & Garden Roundup 03.06.10

This weekend's Oscar weekend, filled with the primping and transformation that accompanies Hollywood's biggest night. That's also at the heart of the stories that caught our eye in this week's Los Angeles Times Home & Garden section. A tour of muralist Paulin Paris' home is a draw dropping example of trompe l'oeil; add some glamourous touches to your home with finds from One King's Lane; follow editor Reuben Munoz as he transforms some Ikea lampshades; Lara Spencer's new home is a far cry from the traditional Connecticut carriage house she left behind. Links to these stories, and more, after the jump!
